Show tax when not logged in

Hello,

We have an online store that sells only to UK customers and we only charge tax at 17.5% regardless of the order. We would be prepared to pay a programmer to make these changes for us....

Therefore we would like to make it so that our store doesn't show tax as N/A but... shows the tax amount added at 17.5% - even when customers aren't logged in.

So at the moment it says:

Subtotal: £24.50

Tax: n/a

Basket Total: £24.50

We would like it to say:

Subtotal: £24.50

Postage: £6.95

VAT 17.5%: £5.50

Basket Total: £36.95

I've looked around for any mods but can't seem to find one - would be grateful if any one could suggest a mod or we would be prepared to pay a programmer to make this adjusment.

Thanks

Liam

(I misread your initial post and my ramblings have probably been a source of amusement thus far - but I may be able to locate a solution. stand by.

OK I have a solution - not exactly what you want but it works. Edit the file lang.inc.php in the language en folders. Search for the string n/a (you should find 2). Edit both so they read

'na' =>"At Checkout".

Sure the customer still has to register to see the tax and postage but it is better than n/a. Hope this helps and again, apologies for my former ramblings which were a waste of time & due to my misunderstanding your question (and have now been deleted to prevent further embarrassment on my part).

Cheers

WW :D

Hi there,

Sounds goooood but is there no way that the tax can show when not logged in ?

Cheers

I'm sure there is but I'm thinking it would take some serious coding which is outside of my capabilities. If you want to change the wording from Tax to VAT and Shipping to Postage I can help if you want. All I was offerring was a temporary (free) solution until you can find someone who can help achieve your final goal. You may want to Private Message Estelle or Sir William who seem to know their stuff.

Cheers

Perfect! Thank you so much for that....

I take it there is a similar hack for delivery to be shown?

Thanks Convict, that solved a problem for me - Just to add to this - In the General Options, you need to set Include tax to NO, for this to work, otherwise it remains at zero.

Any more on the hack to show shipping cost by default?

I sent Convict a PM on this one a few days ago, but being the busy chap that he is, unfortunately he has no spare time to tackle this just now.

Can any of you other experienced 'modders' give us a clue on this one?
